Making RS-422 or Ethernet connections
AMP Local/Remote mode
In Workstation control mode, you can select Protocol control only or Local and
Protocol control. The Local and Protocol control mode allows you to control the
iDDR remotely, but also allows some local control at the same time.
Protocol control only mode – You can only monitor operations on the iDDR. You
cannot perform any control operations locally. All control comes from the external
device. The buttons, menu items, and other interface controls are disabled. From the
local iDDR, you can see the control operations as they take place, but you can’t
control channel resources using the user interface on the iDDR.
Local and Protocol control mode – Both local and remote control are allowed.
Control comes from the external device, but at the same time, all user interface
controls are enabled.
Local and Protocol control mode is available only when remote control is enabled
from Workstation mode.
See “Remote control operation: In Workstation mode” on
page 255 .
About BVW protocol support
You can use BVW protocol to control iDDR record and play channels. External
control devices can be connected via rear panel RS-422 serial connectors. The iDDR
supports a standard set of BVW commands used for VTR machine control. BVW
Insert Edit, used by some edit control panels, is not supported.
Making RS-422 or Ethernet connections
Serial protocol control is available through three 9-pin RS-422 serial port connectors
mounted on the iDDR rear panel, or through an Ethernet network connection (AMP
only).
• To make RS-422 cable connections using the following diagram.
• To make Ethernet connections and configure the Ethernet network, refer to “Using
an Ethernet connection” on page 271.
